Diplomacy r What’s it like to orbit the moon and see an “Earth- rise”? How does the United Nations deal with the prob- lem of world terrorism? Why is it important to visit the nation’s capital and see our heritage, first hand? Students interested in the answers to these questions and wishing to explore the answers to many more, found three clubs to their lik- ing. The Historical Society, Model United Nations, and Close-Up attracted special groups of students-those willing to take an active part in shaping the future. The Historical Society members belonged to a unique club, one that very few high schools have. The Society listened to speakers on a variety of topics, from warfare through the ages, to space travel, to a discussion with ex-senator Barry Gold- water. It took dedication to be- long to the Model U.N. With a mock U.N. meeting in the spring, the members had only a few months to pre- pare bills to propose, and to learn the respective policies of Tanzania, Barbados, and Ghana-all of whom Model U.N. represented at the con- vention. Sponsors Mr. Conway and Mr. Schedler helped the students with the re- search, practice in parlia- mentary procedure, and de- bate techniques. Through an extensive fund raising campaign that greatly reduced the amount that each student had to pay, Close-Up gave students the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. In Wash- ington, the students met oth- er Close-Up members from around the nation, toured the capital, and met with Su- preme Court justices and members of Congress. All three of these clubs al- lowed students to learn more about history, political science, and diplomacy, while doing so in a fun and interesting manner. Design by Craig Johnson.
